Seems like a brite idea.

I was surfin' the 'net when I ran across this little item. Anyone have any experience with it?

G-Max Helmets offer something similar to that for their helmets as well.

Good idea for visibility when riding solo. On the 'Wing the passenger sits a bit higher than the pilot, so it would be blocked off from rear view. Knowing my wife she would not tolerate the lights in her face all the time.

Aerostich Warehouse has something along those lines, but not as high-tech -retro-reflective arrows for your helmet. No stop light or signals except when you turn your head to look through the turn, but no lights in your passenger eyes either.

Any thing to improve being seen is a great idea! ThumbUp

Just wondering how all that works. Plug and play wires hanging out the helmet? Don't think so.

It works remotely... no wires... I followed a rider on a mountain 2 lane road wearing one of these recently, till I could thankfully get around him. Since he was quite adept at applying his brakes to make sure that every vehicle behind him should not even get within 7 miles of the speed limit, I got a good demo of how they worked. And they seemed to work pretty well. They were very bright and did get my attention. Possibly that was just because I had never seen them before and I was MAYBE a little impatient. But there was bright sunlight at the time and they were very visible. If he would have had a passenger, I would not have been able to see them.

I'm surprised that we haven't heard more of this offering! :xzqxz:

The people that you want/need to see it won't, And the people that do see it will be the people that you don't have to worry about.:Shrug:
People still run into the back of stopped school buses, And 18 wheelers on the side of the road, A light on a helmet ain't gonna stop those Yahoos.....
What ever floats your boat...?

G-Max has some that have lights, but are not connected to the bike brake lights in any way. Not a bad idea - more lights the better.

I used them years ago, But me being Dyslexic I put the arrows on the wrong sides,
So when I turned the bike' left I had to turn my head to the right...
All kidding aside I did have them, But there more like an novelty thing than a safety thing.

We had a woman smash into a flashing police car that was parked behind a motorist changing her tire. Strobes flashing lights rotating emergency flashing. Hit him doing 45 mph. No brakes.

If alcohol or drugs weren't the case... Probably ''Target Fixation''
Sometimes too many lights cause some to stare at an object and steer into it..
